Dope Folks Records is a record label that specializes in the best rare and unreleased (underground/golden era/indie) hip-hop vinyl from the late ’80s to the early 2000s. All vinyl is limited to 300 copies with the exception of their upcoming 50th release from hip-hop veterans Black Sheep, which is limited to 500 vinyl copies. This mix is from their last 20 releases, put together exclusively for Wax Poetics.

Track list:

1. Young Zee “Nerve Plucker”
(New Jersey, 1996 from his shelved LP “Musical Meltdown Part. 1” (DF0043) Zee made waves guesting on the FUGEES “THE SCORE” and his debut LP (originally promo cassette only) was shelved due to label troubles. This is the first time his talked about LP has been released to the public!)

11. Cage 1 “Nightstalker”
(Wilmington, DE 1992-94 from “Straight From Cage” (DF0038) Originally from a cassette only release, it is the first time this song has been on vinyl. One of the hardest hitting songs in our catalog)
